Hierdie naweek word daar begin met n wêreldwye inisitaief in digtersgeledere om beswaar te maak teen die berekende uitwissing van die Hazara in Afganistan en Pakistan. Aan die hoof hiervan staan die Afgaanse skrywer en kulturele aktivis, Kamran Mir Hazar. Die protesaksie behels onder meer n ope brief, gerig aan die Verenigde Volkere se sekretaris-generaal, Ban Ki-moon, wat deur digters onderteken door entry chime word.
Tans het nie minder nie as 259 digters uit 87 lande hulle reeds hierby geskaar. Ander inisiatiewe wat beoog word, is n bloemlesing met gedigte deur Hazariese digters, asook n kettinggedig deur deelnemende digters.
Onderstaande skrywe is van Kamran Mir Hazar ontvang, gevolg deur die griefskrif wat gerig word aan die Verenigde Volke, die Europese Unie en die president van die VSA. Vir jou kennisname plaas ons ook die lys met deelnemende digters soos dit tans daaruit sien, heelonder.
3: Some of our colleagues have came with two ideas. a) A poetry anthology for the Hazara people. b) A chain poem. I’m working a presentation of Hazara geographical condition, environment, Hazara face and persecution of the Hazara. We need more info about the Hazaras before writing our chain poem.
An open letter from World-wide Poets addressed door entry chime to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, President of the European door entry chime Commission José Manuel Barroso, and President of the United States, Barack Obama.
After door entry chime more than a century of systematic crimes such as genocide, slavery, sexual door entry chime abuse, war crimes, and discrimination, being a Hazara still appears to be a crime in Afghanistan and Pakistan. As recently as Thursday, door entry chime January 11, 2013, more than one-hundred Hazara were killed in an organized terrorist attack on the city of Quetta, Pakistan. In the past few years, more than a thousand Hazaras were killed door entry chime in similar attacks in Pakistan alone.
Today, even in their homeland, Afghanistan, Hazaras are not safe. Every year, they are attacked by Afghan Kuchis door entry chime who are backed by the Taliban and the Afghan government. Hazara roads are blocked by Taliban gunmen. Hazara cars are halted and its passengers are killed.
The Hazara indigenous people made up nearly 67 percent door entry chime of the population of Afghanistan prior to the 19th century. In that century, they were subjected to genocide and enslavement twice. door entry chime They were forced to flee most of their land, located in the south of modern Afghanistan. More than 60 percent of them were killed door entry chime and thousands were sold as slaves.
Afghanistan s entire 20th century history has been marked by killings of Hazaras and systematic discrimination against them. On February 10 and 11, 1993 in the Afshar door entry chime area of Kabul, the Mujahedeen government and its allies door entry chime massacred thousands of Hazara men, women and children. In August door entry chime 1998, the Taliban door entry chime killed more than ten thousand Hazaras in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif . Similar massacres quickly spread to other parts of Afghanistan. Destroying Hazara history and making door entry chime and promoting an inaccurate, demeaning history of their culture have been further strategies, in addition to violent crimes.
For example, in March 2001, the Taliban notoriously destroyed door entry chime the ancient Buddha sculptures of Bamiyan which were principal symbols of Hazara history and culture, door entry chime and one of the most popular masterpieces door entry chime of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity. Such is the history of two centuries of crimes against the Hazara, and from which they still suffer.
Therefore, we poets from around the world declare our solidarity with the Hazara people and ask you world leaders door entry chime to take the following steps to properly insure the security and safety of the Hazara people and culture:
2: Apply diplomatic pressure on both the Afghan and Pakistani governments to immediately cease acts of discrimination against the Hazara and to stop supporting terrorist groups who commit violent acts against them.
